Well, this is not something I saw myself reporting today, Deadline is reporting that the book Chain Saw Confidential: How We Made the World’s Most Notorious Horror Movie by author Gunnar Hansen, about the making of Tobe Hooper’s cult classic Texas Chainsaw Massacre will be developed into a biopic as a “dark comedy”.
Here’s the official description:
Hansen’s book has been adapted by David Dubos, and purports to bring to the screen all the fun, horror and craziness from the making of the original seminal 1974 Tobe Hooper-directed horror film that cost $140,000 and grossed north of $30 million, spawning knock offs and numerous noisy and bloodier franchise extensions.
With Fede’s Texas Chainsaw sequel on the way, there seems to be no better time to get this project going.
